Apples-to-Apples Fee Comparison

As you enter tryouts, we encourage you to see what other clubs are offering, but be careful when comparing fees. We collaborate with other clubs in the OVA and often find that what we offer in our standard programme for all athletes is restricted to elite programs at other clubs, with higher fees, or not provided at all.

We budget to break even each season so there is nothing extra baked in. We have a track record of being open and a history of delivering higher value so feel free to ask us questions at tryouts.
